Fixin flies under the radar at the northern edge of the Cote de Nuits, and Clos Napoleon is its crown jewel: a premier cru monopole owned entirely by Domaine Pierre Gelin, named for a Napoleonic officer who once tended the slope. This 1999 comes from old vines on lean soil, from a firm, structured vintage that always promised the long haul, and it has delivered. More than two decades in, the Pinot Noir has softened into savory, tertiary territory while holding onto the mineral spine that makes this site special. Fully mature and resolved, it's a chance to drink a serious Burgundy that has already done the waiting for you. Rare to find bottles like this straight from the source.
